Honestly, it's a shame so many people can't use compass.... If you struggle with navigating in this game - come on, it's time to learn basic orientation on the ground. It's fun! The atmosphere in the game is superb. The only disappointing thing - it's too short and ends abruptly. It deserves 9/10, surely not "Mixed" rating filled with noobs who need detailed map and pointer above their head...

GOOD Points: 1. Stunning and Eerie Visuals ❄️🏔️ The game’s snowy landscapes, fog-covered mountains, and abandoned ruins are beautifully crafted, immersing players in a hauntingly desolate world. The Unreal Engine-powered graphics enhance the eerie atmosphere, making exploration feel both breathtaking and unsettling. 2. Haunting and Atmospheric Storytelling 🌫️ Kholat is inspired by the real-life Dyatlov Pass incident, adding a chilling layer of realism to its horror experience. The game’s environmental storytelling and cryptic narrative create a sense of mystery and dread that keeps players engaged. 3. Immersive Sound Design and Narration 🎙️🎶 With Sean Bean providing narration, the voice acting adds depth to the mystery. The eerie ambient sounds, whispering winds, and distant echoes contribute to the overall tension, making every moment feel unnerving. 4. Exploration-Based Horror Experience 🗺️ Unlike traditional horror games that rely on jump scares, Kholat focuses on psychological horror and environmental storytelling. The open-world structure allows players to explore at their own pace, uncovering clues and piecing together the mystery. 5. A Unique and Thought-Provoking Horror Game 👣 The game stands out from typical horror titles by using slow-building tension and atmosphere rather than action-heavy gameplay. It offers a more cerebral experience, appealing to fans of story-driven horror and exploration-based games. BAD Points: 1. Lack of Clear Direction Can Be Frustrating 🧭 The game does not hold your hand, and while that adds to the mystery, some players might find it confusing or frustrating to navigate without clear objectives. The reliance on a map and compass without a marker system can make progression feel aimless at times. 2. Slow-Paced Gameplay May Not Be for Everyone 🚶‍♂️ Kholat is more about atmosphere and exploration rather than action or fast-paced horror. Players looking for intense chases or frequent scares might find the pacing too slow. Conclusion: Kholat is a beautifully eerie and atmospheric horror experience that relies on psychological tension rather than traditional scares. Its haunting visuals, immersive sound design, and mysterious narrative make it a unique entry in the horror genre. While its slow pace and lack of guidance may not suit every player, those who appreciate deep storytelling and exploration will find it a chilling and unforgettable journey. ❄️👣🔦 Final Rating: 7.5/10

You can feel a sense of despair and isolation in the harsh environment and desolate landscape. The greatest fear I felt in this game was that I am terrible with directions—yet I am the one who must escape this place and end my disappearance.

Kholat is a chilling and atmospheric exploration game that draws you into the mysterious Dyatlov Pass incident. Its unique format immerses you in an open-world environment, where you uncover the narrative through scattered diaries and environmental clues. While some may claim there’s no plot, it’s all about piecing together the story yourself, which adds to the intrigue and sense of discovery. The game masterfully combines eerie landscapes with a haunting soundtrack, creating a tense and unforgettable experience. Though it has occasional glitches, these are minor unless you’re chasing 100% achievements, which requires completing Act II without dying (the game consists of three acts, with Act II being the major part). Despite this, Kholat excels at delivering a gripping, atmospheric journey. Its blend of mystery, exploration, and subtle storytelling makes it a standout for fans of narrative-driven horror games.
